When they said "cookout kit", I was not expecting Emile Henry ™ and Rosle ™ items. Very nice, Bush Beans! And look, they made sure mine was green so it will match our Big Green Eggs:)

For the cook out I'm grilling flat iron steak and Bush Beans has asked me to pair that with the Bourbon and Brown Sugar recipe of Grillin' Beans. After kicking a few ideas around, here's my "plan of attack". I'm going to use Alexis' grill set up for indirect heat to cook potatoes and the Grillin' Beans. I'll use my grill set up for direct heat to grill the steak and make a sauce. Here's my draft menu:

Grilled Romaine Heart Salad

with a warm bacon dressing

Grilled Flat Iron Steak

thinly sliced and served with a bourbon mushroom sauce

Bourbon & Brown Sugar Grillin' Beans

no doctorin' needed

Twice-Fire Roasted Potatoes

stuffed with herbs & cheese

Do you like my new tool kit? Do you want it? You can't have it! But I will hook up one lucky winner with the same kit. As part of kicking off the opening of Grillin' season (for you slackers that don't grill all year round, ha ha), Jay, Duke, and Bush Beans are going to give one of my lucky readers the same set up and a supply of Bush Grillin' Beans.

I like to grill burgers and steaks from our home-grown beef along with grilled veggies (from our garden) marinated in Italian dressing. I'd like to try the Smokehouse Tradition beans to go with it. :-)

Yay! First to comment, that must mean I'll win something, especially since I'm one of those that doesn't grill year round...only when it's not raining, so about 6 times a year! I am totally smitten with Bushes Black Bean Fiesta Grillin' Beans...they go perfectly with steak tacos...which is what I will grill if the sun sticks around this weekend! Off to Twitter!

I've never had any of the Bush's grillin' beans but we love to do flank steak on the grill. I would imagine the Black Bean Fiesta or the Texas Ranchero would compliment fajitas - along with homemade pico and guacamole. Thanks! Christy

Well I pretty much love all things grilled - pork chops, chicken, steak, burgers, metts, veggies, you name it! But I'll stick to the basics and say burgers and metts. I'd use some Southern Pit BBQ beans. Thanks for the chance to win!

I buy all the varieties but I think everyone likes the Steakhouse the best. We always have baked beans when I make potato or macaroni salad. Can't eat them without the beans! My Daughter (20) will eat baked beans for breakfast she is such a big fan.

When the warm weather hits, my grill becomes an extension of my right arm. With all of the wonderful things there are to grill, I have to admit I am still a kid at heart and prefer a well prepared hamburger with Bush's Bourbon and Brown Sugar Beans. My daughter is a vegetarian. We make her Boca Burgers with Bush's vegetarian beans. We bought her small cans so that she could make them while she was away at college.

We enjoy grilling meats for fajitas and the Black Bean Fiesta beans would go great with that kind of meal, with some guacamole and fresh tortillas, plus grilled pineapple. :-) creedamy[at] yahoo[dot]com

Oh cool! Thanks for the giveaway! Hmmm... I love ALL foods on the grill - my favorite is still a good burger the most though, so I guess give me the southern pit bbq beans please. Sounds like a winning combo to me!!

I have tried Bush's a few times but I'd love to doctor up some of their Black Bean Fiesta beans and add some smoke to them on the BGE. Serve it along side of some fish tacos. That dutch oven would make a great vessel to do it in. Here's hoping I win! I'm "hoosier" on the Egghead Forum
